JBossWorld 2011 around the corner

Wanted to let you know that I've got 2 talks at JBW (Boston, May 3-6).

The first talk [1] is about geographic failover of JBoss clusters. I'll show 2 clusters, one in NYC, the other one in ZRH. Both are completely independent and don't know about each other. However, they're bridged with a JGroups RELAY and therefore appear as if they were one big virtual cluster.

This can be used for geographic failover, but it could also be used for example to extend a private cloud with an external, public cloud without having to use a hardware VPN device.

As always with my talks, this will be demo'ed, so you know this isn't just vapor ware !

The second talk [2] discusses 5 different ways of running a JBoss cluster on EC2. I'll show 2 demos, one of which works only on EC2, the other works on all clouds.

This will be a fun week, followed by a week of biking in the Bay Area ! YEAH !!

We haven't decided yet how to package this. The bits and pieces are in- JGroups 2.12: you'll need RELAY- Infinispan: I've got my changes in a fork of the 4.2.x branch, but they haven't made it into the master yet (we're working on this)- JBoss 6 (latest from SVN): a few minor changes

The reason I needed Infinispan is that we used distribution (versus replication) and JBossCache (in JBoss < 6) doesn't provide distribution.

If you simply want to bridge traffic between 2 sites, [1] discusses how to do it.
